As NBA free agency begins, Klay Thompson is set to have discussions with several teams, including the Sixers, according to reports from ESPN and The Athletic. It’s still early in the process, but the Sixers are looking to add outside shooting alongside stars Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
In addition to Thompson, the Sixers also have interest in Paul George, another veteran wing player. George is expected to speak with the Clippers, Sixers, and Magic as free agency gets underway. Thompson is reportedly leaving the Warriors and exploring sign-and-trade options.
Daryl Morey, president of basketball operations for the Sixers, has emphasized the importance of shooting around Embiid. He recognizes that having shooters on the team makes him even more effective on the court. It will be interesting to see how everything shakes out as free agency progresses.
